In a statement published on his Facebook page, Congressman Allen West
called the politically Left-leaning JStreet a "Pro-Palestinian Jewish
Organization."

"Today on Capitol Hill there are lots of J-Street (Pro-Palestinian
Jewish Organization) representatives, of course several have
recognized me and wanted to chat," he stated. "I just have to shake
my head when these citizens ask me to believe in Iran and support a
two-state solution. When I ask them if there is a willing peace
partner on the other side, they respond by saying yes. When I ask
them how does one negotiate with leaders who do not even recognize
your existence, they respond with, you have to believe in them. Well,
looks like I will have to save these people from themselves. I take a
man at his word when he says he wants to kill me, I ain’t suicidal."

Rep. West is known to be a great friend and steadfast supporter of
the Jewish state and has repeatedly affirmed his commitment to
ensuring the safety and security of the State of Israel. His recent
statement came in response to the organization’s policy conference,
which took place from March 24 through March 27 in Washington, D.C.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appeared as the key-note
speaker at the conference, while Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to
President Barack Obama, represented the American administration.
